Okay I am just curious to see what the max hp and torque these engines are capable of handling, and what can be done and has been done to get them there. Obviously I already know about doing stuff to the pump, and bigger/vnt/fancy turbos and intercoolers and stuff like that.

I'm just wondering if anybody has any before and after info we could compile into a thread, like "after doing this to my car I got these results", and approximate costs of all the mods, etc.. Any kind of before and after numbers are good, even stuff like mileages, 0-60 times, anything you got.

Thanks folks!
